Valerie was such a strong person who overcame so much adversity, I was lucky to know her. She loved all the children she cared for and was so proud of you kids. Her dream was always for you all to grow strong and be happy and she worked hard to make that possible. The family she had and made meant everything to her.
My condolences to you, her children , her family, and her friends, I know you will miss her terribly.
I will cherish my memories of Valerie.
